Wasn’t he also influential in getting Yossi Benayoun to sign for us?

Berkovic was a guest at the game on Saturday, he made a crack about him and Hartson then as well, seems a funny bloke.

[coldel]

Apparently there could be a deal for Maxi Gomez imminent.

Seen at Stansted airport by all accounts...

[coldel]

More reports of firming up interest in Gomez and team mate Lobotka. If we sold Arnie and got those two in thats a good upgrade on a player that is entering his 30s and not really a team player. Fingers crossed the club can sort it all out....Gomez is appears has a £35m release fee in his contract too...

Just seen on the BBC that he has a 43.3m release clause and we're considering triggering it!

I’m hearing that Arnie isn’t in tomorrow’s squad. Wonder where he’s going?

Surely they are going to offload him but do it in the next day or two and bring someone in. Chico is back in training and Wimbledon might suit him actually as a game back. Also Lanzini is training again Hurrah!

[BrabusMog]

Yeah, great news that Lanzini is back in training.

Arnie has also just tweeted a black square with the words NEWS VERY SOON written across it. So presume a deal has been struck with the Chinese club and he is on his way...hopefully funding the move for Gomez.

Going to be an interesting 24hrs.

Hell of a signing if we can pull it off.

I wish he’d not said “ and to try and win the cup” ...that’s put the kibosh on it !!

[sjc]

Reckon they’ve cracked an agreement that he can go at the end of the season ?

[mickk]

I prefer this version.

That’d be my bet.

Yep & the Stan version of his note is quite funny.

[bad company]

Hopefully we’ll soon be able to see Arnautovic, Nasri, Anderson & Lanzini in the same team. Now that does sound good.

Yes, in China .

Why has it taken all month for him to come to that conclusion? Possibly that West Ham sat down with the Chinese, with Arnie, with his scumbag brother and agreed to flog him for £40m come the summer perhaps...
